To promote his new album Mandatory Fun, "Weird Al" Yankovic is releasing a new music video every day. (You could say he's pulling a Beyoncé, if not for the fact that Yankovic did it first.)

Wednesday's video is "Foil," a spoof of Lorde's "Royals" that illuminates many of the helpful properties of tinfoil. Yankovic begins by explaining how the material can protect your leftovers and then goes on from there. (Any more information would probably spoil it – no pun intended.)
